Determination of the volume of lobes and right sectors of the human liver using nomograms

Abstract

In surgical hepatology, the study of liver volume and its structural and functional elements (lobes, sectors, segments) is of great practical importance in making decision of surgical intervention volume, as well as in determining the residual volume after resection, the functioning volume of the organ. For introduction into surgical practice, we have proposed nomograms of the volumes of lobes and right sectors of the liver with respect to organ-preserving operations. The use of these nomograms in surgical hepatology will accelerate the resolution of the question of the extent of surgical intervention on the liver. Continue the study of interdependencies between the volume of the liver and the volume of its structural and functional elements and establish the existing patterns.
